New slow jets work wonders!

Try some copper grease behind the pads. I drilled my disc to see if that helps but haven't tested it yet.

Les,
Yes, I have got copper grease behind the pads (& the nylon washer).

I'll be interested to hear how you get on with drilled disks.

At the last attempt, I also 'emery clothed' the pad faces to rougth them up; it worked for a day or so but the squeal returned.
I'm wondering if it could be the caliper mounting arm; despite adjusting the clearance, no change. I plan to take the arm off and copper grease the finge pin of the caliper arm.

- I read some where, saying Honda pads can solve it; can you still get those?
I think these pads are Kyoto.

Which side does the washer go in? I took mine apart to paint and can't remember.   ::)

Nylon Washer definitely went on the moving piston/pad.
- see my kit  just prior to rebuild; the washer placed on the new piston

LesterPiglet:
That's all very pretty.  ;D  Thanks.
